"Oh... what a pity!"

Hearing what Bai Feng said, Cao Cao felt lost and sighed again and again.

Bai Feng understood very well what Cao Cao was thinking.

Xun You is okay, Cao Cao doesn't have too much affection for him.

This Xun Yu is different from Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, he is not only a counselor to Cao Cao, but also a kindness to know him.

It's a pity that Xun Yu's heart is only for the Han Dynasty, and he is serving the current emperor, not Cao Cao.

Since ancient times, different ways do not conspire with each other. How could Cao Cao not know this sentence.

It's just that he still needs some time to accept it now.

Although Cao Cao is a hero of the generation, Cao Cao is not willing to part with Xun Yu.

No matter looking at it now or historical records, Cao Cao has nothing but reluctance for Xun Yu. Even if he is given death in the end, or Xun Yu commits suicide, Cao Cao will be buried generously.

Xun Yu and Xun You couldn't pass this hurdle by themselves, and anyone who said it would be futile.

Seeing Cao Cao so lonely, Bai Feng also felt that it was inappropriate to stay here, so he cupped his hands slightly and said:

"Prime Minister, that minister will leave first."

Cao Cao nodded, and Bai Feng left Cao Cao's study.

...

Morning the next day.

Cao Cao naturally announced the title of Duke, but Han Xiandi, who had been brought back from Chang'an by Cao Cao, just sat on the dragon chair without saying a word.

Although he couldn't see Han Xiandi's expression, Bai Feng guessed that his expression should be very dull and helpless.

If it was not the end of the Han Dynasty, but the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty might have been a very accomplished emperor.

It's a pity that I was born at an untimely time.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of nine, and since then the power of the Han Dynasty has been completely divided up.

In this era, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty dared to write the Yidai Zhao, and now he has sent people to assassinate Cao Cao many times.

From this point of view, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not give up at the beginning.

But now, he is helpless.

There is no official in his hands, not even a guard, and the people around him are all Cao Cao's people, and he has become a puppet emperor through and through.

Although sitting on the dragon chair and being called His Majesty, all the soldiers and horses of all the courtiers now belong to Cao Cao.

Sadly.

Bai Feng looked aside in a blink of an eye, but saw two familiar figures.

Xun Yu and Xun You actually came to court?

Bai Feng was quite surprised.

Now that they knew that Cao Cao was named a noble, the two of them were naturally disheartened. Why did they still come to court?

Cao Cao's title of title is just a gimmick. In fact, it is almost exactly the same as being called a king. Uncle and nephew Xun are not stupid, how can they not know?

Cao Cao said in a low voice above the hall:

"Today, I ascended the title of title and conferred the title of the country. I should have rewarded all the ministers."

"But right now there is an urgent report from Jingzhou."

"Zhou Yu pretended to withdraw his troops, but actually recharged his energy and stored up his energy. Now he is going to attack me in Jingzhou. I don't know what you think?"

As soon as the words fell, Xun You and Xun Yu stood out from the group of officials!

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the minister's physical strength is indeed a little weak, and I ask the Prime Minister to allow the two of us to retire."

Xun Yu's voice was a little weak.

Bai Feng shook his head helplessly.

It seems that the two uncles and nephews of the Xun family no longer intend to offer advice to Cao Cao, but they still haven't figured it out.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, then said:

"Wen Ruo, Gong Da, your body is important, you two should go back to rest first, don't exhaust your body."

Although he knew the hearts of the two, Cao Cao did not intend to kill them.

Right now, they should be given some time to think about it.

Since they can't figure it out now, let them think about it.

Seeing Cao Cao's willingness to agree so readily, the two staggered out of the hall.

Afterwards, a gentry stood up and said in a low voice:

"Prime Minister, in my opinion, Jingzhou must be preserved right now!"

"Jingzhou is an important military base, so it must not be lost."

Jia Xu stood up and said calmly:

"I thought that this place in Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies, and now Liu Bei and Sun Quan are coveting this place."

"Compared to Jingzhou at the moment, it is better to pacify Xiliang. Xiliang has always been a serious problem. It has invaded Xuchang before, so it must be a future problem."

"As for Jingzhou, let Liu Bei and Sun Quan fight for it, maybe there will be a fight between the snipe and the clam, and I will wait for the fisherman to benefit."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, all the generals immediately seconded their opinions.

"That's right, the Xiliang army came to besiege Xuchang, and it's very heart-wrenching."

"The Xiliang army is very close to Ye City in Xuchang. If they invade, I'm afraid the previous situation will reappear."

"..."

Cao Cao has not spoken.

Until Sima Yi came out, he said calmly:

"I think Master Wen He is right. There are thirty-six counties in Jingzhou. It is not easy for Zhou Yu to conquer it. Even if he rushes to attack, it will take more than half a year."

"In addition, Liu Bei may also compete for Jingzhou. I think Xiliang should be pacified first."

Cheng Yu, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said in a low voice:

"Although what you said is good, if Xiliang wants to calm down, how can it be a snap of the fingers?"

"The desolate land of Xiliang is very familiar to the Xiliang army for many years. After our army arrives, it may take more than half a year to pacify Xiliang."

"What if Zhou Yu and Liu Bei join forces again and use Jingzhou to drive directly into the hinterland of our army?"

In an instant, all civil and military forces were divided into factions, arguing over whether to protect Jingzhou or Pingxiliang.

Meanwhile, Bai Feng on the side frowned and said nothing.

In Bai Feng's view, everyone is mainly saying that Zhou Yu's army intends to take Jingzhou, and Liu Bei has no strength to fight.

But this place in Jingzhou is not to be pacified if all the places are knocked down.

Most of the people in Jingzhou are loyal to the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei's surname is Liu!

No matter how many troops Sun Quan had, he was just a man of a different surname. Even if he took all the thirty-six counties into his pocket, he would not win the hearts of the people.

However, Liu Bei can easily get it!

"Okay, I understand what you love dears, let's listen first."

Cao Cao felt that it was a bit noisy, so he couldn't help shouting, and silenced all the officials.

Then Cao Cao looked at Bai Feng in a blink of an eye, and said lightly:

"Why is Mr. Bai so silent today? What do you think of this matter?"

"Prime Minister, everyone discussed Jingzhou well, but they all ignored one point."

Bai Feng said calmly.

Cao Cao suddenly became interested, smiled slightly and said:

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Bai Feng stood with his hands behind his back:

"I believe that Zhou Yu will definitely not be able to defeat Liu Bei in this battle."

Immediately, the gentry below exploded:

"What? Then Liu Bei only has tens of thousands of horses? How can he compare with Zhou Yu's huge army?"

"Liu Bei can at most restrain Zhou Yu for a while, how could he defeat Zhou Yu?"

"Compared to Liu Bei, Zhou Yu is a serious threat!"

"Mr. Bai is too arbitrary?"

...

Looking at the noisy gentry, Bai Feng sneered and said:

"Did you forget? Liu Bei still has a big killer in his hand."

"This big killer can even easily take Jingzhou into its pocket!"
